The blackfin icefish (Chaenocephalus aceratus), also known as the Scotia Sea icefish, is a species of crocodile icefish belonging to the family Channichthyidae. [2] The blackfin icefish belongs to Notothenioidei, a suborder of fishes that accounts for 90% of the fish fauna on the Antarctic continental shelf. [3]
In February 2021, scientists discovered and documented a breeding colony of Neopagetopsis ionah icefish estimated to have 60 million active nests across an area of approximately 92 square miles at the bottom of the Weddell Sea in Antarctica. [6] The majority of nests were occupied by one adult fish guarding an average of 1,735 eggs in each nest ...
Antarctic fish is a common name for a variety of fish that inhabit the Southern Ocean. There are relatively few families in this region, the most species-rich being the Liparidae (snailfishes), followed by Nototheniidae (cod icefishes). [1] The latter is one of eight different families that belong to the suborder Notothenioidei of the order ...
Nototheniidae species are largely found in the Southern Ocean and are particularly abundant off the shores of Antarctica. [7] As the dominant Antarctic fish taxa, they occupy both sea-bottom and water-column ecological niches. [8] Nototheniidae is a family of teleost fishes found mainly in the Southern Ocean, surrounding the continent of ...
Notothenioidei is one of 19 suborders of the order Perciformes. The group is found mainly in Antarctic and Subantarctic waters, with some species ranging north to southern Australia and southern South America. [2] [3] Notothenioids constitute approximately 90% of the fish biomass in the continental shelf waters surrounding Antarctica. [4]
Antarctica’s vast expanse of sea ice regulates Earth ... “This is the first time this large set of climate models has been used to find out how unlikely 2023’s low sea ice actually was ...
In January 2014 the first nesting Jonah's icefish records were made, [5] and in February 2021 a larger colony estimated to be composed of approximately 60 million Jonah's icefish was found, [6] both colonies were discovered inhabiting the Filchner Trough in the southern Weddell Sea, off the coast of Antarctica between 420 to 535 metres (1,378 ...
